Iconic but kitsch - Edit
They had a few options, better than other big kaffehäuser, it's more of a tourist attraction than an actual cafe. The pattiserie was fun and the coffe was strong and tasted good. Not a viable vegan option though and the atmosphere was very much like a tourist hotspot.

impressed! - Edit
the ambiance was so much fun here - probably best to just stop in for a pastry and coffee than an entire meal but there were multiple vegan sweets options & non-dairy milk for coffee ☕️☕️

Historical place to visit, be prepared to queue - Edit
Went I went there we had to queue for about 15 mins, it’s a very touristic place. On their menu the only vegan option was the chia pudding but I think they had vegan pastries too, I didn’t check unfortunately.

Historische plek - Edit
Prachtig café waar beroemdheden als Freud en Kafka ooit koffie dronken. Ik nam de aardappelsoep en die was best lekker.

Yummy vegan cake 🍰 - Edit
The passionfruit cake was really good. Reminded me of the „aldi“ ice cream 😂 Normally they have also a vegan chocolate cake (was sold out). On their menu they have several vegan options 🌱

Surprised by the vegan options - Edit
For a traditional place like this I was really surprised by the many options they had for vegans. Especially when it comes to cakes. I had a vegan pear patisserie cake, but there would also have been the classic Applestrudel or other sweets. The coffee is also nice & they offer milk alternatives. As this is a highly touristy place be prepared for 6€ plus for a cake and also 6€ plus for a coffee. Try to be there right when they open to avoid standing in line.

Vienna's classic - Edit
It's not much but it's honest work. Basically you pay your being in the cafe which is fair as it's really really beautiful. The one sweet option you have is quite good tho

Too salty for my taste - Edit
Ordered the “vegane wiener krautfleckerl” which is one of two available vegan dishes. It was way too salty for my taste but maybe I am a bit too sensitive to salt after I stopped using it in cooking.
Read morePros: That they have vegan options
Cons: Too much salt

Echt Österreichisches Essen - Edit
Krautfleckerl und Spätzle 😍
Read moreHat auch zwei Optionen für veganes Süßigkeiten. Ich habe etwas Himbeere/Schoko gegessen, war echt köstlich. Ich gebe nur 4 Sterne weil es nur ein paar vegane Optionen gibt (obwohl sie absolut lecker waren!).

Great atmosphere - Edit
Very nice looking cafe in classic style. Some vegan options available on the menu including a soup and spatzle. I had the vegan Mais soup which was tasty but the portion was little. I recommend this this place if you want to have a coffee with a great atmosphere. Don’t expect big list of vegan options.
Read morePros: Atmosphere , Service
Cons: Price , Small list of vegan options

Vegan spätzle in a beautiful setting - Edit
Perhaps the most famous café in Vienna. Some vegan options that are clearly labeled. I had the vegan spätzle with tofu. The spätzle were very good, the tofu could have been tastier. If you don't have a reservation, be prepared to wait between 30mn and an hour, depending on the time of the day.
Read morePros: Very beautiful and comfy, Vegan options are clearly labeled

Klassisches Caféhaus mit veganen Optionen - Edit
Das Café Central ist ein klassisches Wiener Caféhaus und bietet ein wechselndes veganes Gebäck, Sojamilch für Kaffee und zwei herzhafte Speisen an.

Cosy place in the centre of Vienna - Edit
It's a nice historic place. Staff was friendly, many of the waiters/waitresses spoke English. We had a main and a dessert in Cafe Central - everything was delicious and good price-wise. The only downside is that there is only one vegan main and one vegan dessert, they certainly need to incorporate more things.
Read morePros: Nice place, Friendly staff, speak English
Cons: Not many vegan options

Busy place - Edit
We got in line about 6 pm Saturday night without reservations and it moved relatively fast. I had the vegan tofu dish. It was pretty good and filling. The vegan desserts were already sold out. So I guess if your heart is set on a yummy looking dessert get there earlier than 6 pm.

Delightfully touristy - Edit
There’s something delightful about this place being touristy: all the staff speak English and they have vegan options. I ordered a coffee and the strawberry rhubarb cake. It had a rich chocolatey crunchy base and a fluffy, delightfully fruity topping.
Read moreI don’t think they would be serving vegan cakes without tourism.
Pros: A delightful vegan option, Traditional café, Friendly staff
Cons: Only one vegan cake, Only one vegan breakfast option

Go for the coffee/ambiance, eat somewhere else - Edit
I was excited to see vegan items on the menu, but they were pretty unimpressive (I had an endive and chard salad with vegan feta and a tomato/apricot soup). I wish I’d eaten lunch elsewhere BUT The coffee (I had a melange with soy milk) was lovely and the building was gorgeous! I skipped out on the dessert after reading other Happy Cow reviews and got Ice cream at Veganista instead!

Delicious vegan patisserie, but only 1 - Edit
Had the rubarb and chocolate patisserie which was delicious. They also did soya milk. But that seemed to be it in terms of afternoon tea.

Very nice café, average food - Edit
The café itself is beautiful and has had many famous guests over the course of history. It‘s amazing that they offer vegan options and the food was good, but not as good as it could have been for the price. The vegan cake didn‘t look too good so I didn‘t try it. The coffee was way too expensive for what it was; not very good. The athmosphere is worth though.
Read morePros: Nice atmoshpere, Interesting history
Cons: Expensive, Only a couple of vegan options, Coffee is not very good

Depends on what you want - Edit
Should you visit Café Central? It depends on what you want. The architecture is beautiful for sure, and it is very famous. But it has become a loud and crowded tourist attraction where during peak times, you even have to queue. There are many coffee houses in Vienna that are pretty and even retain something of their original atmosphere and objectives, so I personally won‘t bother with Café Central anymore.
Read moreOh, and while I have had tea here from time to time, I haven‘t eaten the vegan cake mentioned on HappyCow because somehow I missed it - my review is for the venue alone.
Pros: A vegan cake (haven’t tried it though), Famous and historic , Beautiful interior
Cons: Very busy, queuing during peak times, Has become a tourist attraction

A little touristy - Edit
Not the best cake I’ve had but it was good. Came here for the overall experience, it’s nice to have a vegan option.
